Statistical Analysis of Vehicle Tunnel Fire Incidents in Zhejiang Province, China, from 2020 to 2024
摘要
Statistical analysis of tunnel fire incidents in Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2024 as related to the causative factors, spatiotemporal distribution characteristics, and fire occurrence frequency are discussed in this study. Through case studies of typical tunnels, the study further reveals general patterns underlying these incidents. The results indicate that trucks are the primary ignited object in tunnel fires (42.4%), while the proportion of fires involving two-wheeled vehicles (8.0%) is also relatively high, warranting special attention. Moreover, influenced by tunnel structural characteristics and traffic flow, tunnel fires occur significantly more frequently during daytime (71.1%) than at other times, demonstrating a distinct pattern compared to conventional road vehicle fires. Notably, the fire occurrence frequency in urban tunnels is lower than the overall average level.
